wikiblock

Wikiblock is an open-source toolkit of designs for benches, chairs, planters, stages, bus stops, beer garden fences, and kiosks that can be downloaded for free and taken to a makerspace where a CNC router (a computer-aided machine) can cut them out of a sheet of plywood. Most products can then be assembled without glue or nails, and used instantly to make a block better.

A HOW-TO GUIDE FOR POP-UP TRAFFIC CALMING

Slow Your Street: A How-To Guide for Pop-Up Traffic Calming was created by Trailnet in 2016 with the support, input, ideas, and inspiration of many individuals, organizations, and institutions. The guide is a toolkit created from the Plan4Health project with the support and guidance of the American Planning Association and American Public Health Association. The project team would like to thank all our community partners and those who offered feedback on the toolkit during development.

Intrigue & Uncertainty Towards New Traffic-Taming Tools

The goal of the book is to give cities and residents new tools to tame traffic, particularly around schools and in neighborhoods. However, taming traffic is really a means to an end: creation of vibrant neighborhoods, enrichment of the social and cultural life of the city and creation of a robust local economy. As we shall see, refocusing on these ends (rather than the means) may automatically tame traffic.

Insurgent Public Space

In cities around the world, individuals and groups are reclaiming and creating urban sites, temporary spaces and informal gathering places. These ‘insurgent public spaces’ challenge conventional views of how urban areas are defined and used, and how they can transform the city environment. No longer confined to traditional public areas like neighborhood parks and public plazas, these guerrilla spaces express the alternative social and spatial relationships in our changing cities.

The Planner’s Guide to Tactical Urbanism
